quitter

AAAAAANDDDD, I quit again. For almost a year this time, sheesh! So things have changed and I have more to write about than I used to and I feel better about the things that are going on and all is well.

Where to start?

Baby was born, she was 6lbs 8oz and is 6 mos old today. She has had some initial health issues. Namely she was born with a club foot on her right leg and has congenital torticollis which is an issue where the muscles in her neck on one side are tighter than they should be which causes her to lay on one side of her head more which means she also has plagiocephaly. It all sounds really bad and complicated and sometimes it seems that way to me too but it has become common for us to have 2-3 doctors appts a week and these are all temporary issues that will not stick with her more than the first few years of her life. We are grateful that she is healthy and perfect and we love her. Miss Molly besides these few things has hardly been sick a day in her life, only one cold so far and has slept through the night since she was 2 mos old. Love her, because this Mommy needs her sleep.

We also moved into our own apartment which when I think back about how unhappy I was living with M’s parents it is great. However, not without its own issues both humorous and serious. These things I will most certainly chronicle throughout the pages of this journal.  M is working now which is wondering as I have not been able to since Molly requires so much time   Although it is becoming less so I’m thinking something part time is in order. Just to get me out of the house and give us a little extra breathing room. 

These are the changes, but I suppose the real changes have been in me and are harder to describe.  I think if I were to put it simply, I am happier. Less apt to let the little things bug me, and more appreciative of the things we have versus constantly focusing on the things I want.  I’m not perfect yet, I probably will never be but I have been working hard with maybe the greatest changes having come in the last month.  

Things are good.  Comfortable.  I look forward to sharing my families daily adventures and seeing what kind of stories I can find about everyone here.
